DMAUDIT Creation and Archiving ofOld Data The DMAUDIT file is purged and re-built each time DeskMon is started up. However, prior to the purging of the DMAUDIT file, the contents of the file are copied to the file OLDAUDIT.DESKMON.HPOFFICE, which is a large circular file designed to hold a number of days of old DeskMon audit messages.
